The push for additional counties has gained momentum, with 26 Members of Parliament calling for the division of some of the 47 counties provided under the current constitution to create 11 more counties.
The legislators, led by the Additional Counties Caucus chairman Kuria East MP Marwa Kitayama, are seeking to establish Kuria, Teso, Mount Elgon, East Pokot, Mwingi, Gucha, Suba, Ijara, Nakuru West, Wajir South, and Nyambene as additional counties.
